This cartoon takes place in a Marriage Guidance office, where a husband and wife sit with a counsellor around a table, cups of tea in front of them.
Instead of addressing their relationship, the husband blurts out: “I only come along because you make a better cup of tea.”
The humour lies in the sheer obtuseness of his remark. In one sentence, he not only sidesteps the real purpose of the meeting but also shows himself up as both thoughtless and faintly misogynistic.
The joke works because it undermines the serious, professional setting with a trivial excuse that makes the husband look ridiculous.
Viewers instantly grasp that he’s missing the point entirely, turning what could have been a moment of honesty into an absurd distraction about tea.
The cartoon highlights how some people can be blind to the bigger picture, preferring to latch onto small comforts - and that’s exactly what makes the gag funny and relatable.
